TL;DR Summary

A London court has rejected an attempt by The Sun's publisher to throw out a lawsuit by actor Hugh Grant alleging that journalists and investigators it hired illegally snooped on him. A trial will have to determine whether Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers carried out unlawful information gathering that included tapping Grant’s home phone, bugging his car and breaking into his home. The ruling didn’t address Prince Harry’s case because the judge wants to hear more at a hearing in July about Harry’s allegations that he was prevented from bringing his phone hacking claims much sooner because of a “secret agreement” between Buckingham Palace and News Group executives.
